Trying to kickstart my blogging habit.

I realised it has been MONTHs since I did one of my tedious-to-everyone-but-me, every-film-I-have-watched posts. To spare you a case of terminal scrollfinger while looking for the vaguely-funny-things-my-kids-say posts, the Tedious Film Lists are now to be tucked away over on a spare blog:

Monday:
Daisy has a day off school. She's 'not well' - my diagnosis is General Non-specific Duvet Lurgitis. As an occasional sufferer myself I recognised it instantly and knew the cure; a day in bed watching crap on the telly works wonders.

Thursday:
Driving the girls into the Fort to their drama class I hear the following snippet of conversation from the back seat:

Daisy:

What happened in school on Monday?

Holly: (Gleefully)

Didn't anyone tell you? Johnny Deppcame and filmed a bit for his latest film and then he had his photo taken with everybody. It was awesome!

About Me

I have all these bits of paper, backs of envelopes, sides of cardboard boxes, anything flat and blank enough to scribble on, full of half-drawn, stupid cartoons and idiot poems lying around.
For years I have been saying I must get round to doing something with them. For years I have been meaning to get to grips with learning how to drive our ancient vector graphics tools.
For years my wife has been wondering how it takes me so long to see the blindingly obvious.
I can't see the blindingly obvious most of the time because I'm usually drawing fish wearing platform shoes.
